A Waste Product Utilized.

A new British industry is the prcpara-
ton of basic Stag for agricultural ma
nure. The material is pulverised by ma
chinery to such an extent that the fin
ished product will pass through a sieve
of 10, 900 holes to the square inch. The
fertilizing properties of this Stag are due
to the large proportion of iron and phos-
phoric acid which it contains.

In Fields of Corn.

In Fields of corn the sunbeams creep,
Where cups of crimson poppies steep
And drop their drowsy dreams until
The little winds grow faint and still,
On murmuring leafy seas asleep,
In fields of corn.
The yellow kernels fold and keep
The mellow wealth the seasons heap,
And happy orioles pause and trill
In fields Of corn,
In fields of corn the truant sheep
Through red-tipped tangled tassels peep,
Where silky tufts in crinklcs spill
From silvery sheaths the ripe ears fill
Like golden sweets my heart boards deep
In fields of corn.

German Catholic Convention.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-The first German
Catholic convention, for which the Cath
Ole Central Union has been preparing
three days, met tonight in battery d
armory. There were over 5000 people
present. Ex-Lieutenant Governor Spann-
herst, OF Missouri, made the first address.
Rev. DIR. Tappert announced the receipt
of a letter from Cardinal Rampolla, papal
secretary of state, giving the pope's bless
ing to the convention. Joseph Jessing,
of Columbus, o., took up the subject of
the mission of the German Catholic
school in the United States" He de-
clared that it was necessary to stick to the
German mother tongue in order that the
school and home could work hand in
hand, and a harmonious education be the
result. He unhesltatingly declared hat
Catholics wanted to influence the school
system of this country in accordance with
their principles.
The session concluded with the reading
of a letter of congratulation from Herr
Windthorst, leader of Catholics in Ger
many.
In the German Catholic meeting to-
day resolutions denouncing the Knights
of Labor was reported back unfavorably
to the convention. An animated discus
sion ensued, but the report was finally
adopted unanimously. A resolution
recommending that local societies initiate
the example of the Toledo Catholics and
establish an intelligence office for the
assistance of German Catholic working
men was also adopted.

G.. +. Whitehead, of the Rocky Noun
tain Ne1S, is reporting the fair for that
journal.
1t was greatly regretted by the horse
men that G B. Goodell's entries, Lark
spur and Felick, did not start in the
club cup race.
There is talk OF a sweepstakes race for
club cup horses Friday afternoon. Push
the project. 1t would be the greatest at
traction of the week.
1t might be remarked that the bar did
a rushing business, but no DRINKS were
about. The day was warm and barrels
of lemonade were consumed.
1t is safe to assert that there will be
twenty entries in the club cup race next
year. Laramie, Evanston and other ter
ritorial points will be represented.
At a late hour last night the announced
tive-eight of a mile dash was abandoned,
one of the entries having been withdrawn.
An impromptu race will take place in its
| stead.
Sweepstakes, $25 entrance, pay or play,
with the same conditions as the club cup
race, except as to gentleman riders, I

attracted a great deal of attention.
Ex-Governor Baxter took the place of
W. ii. Force in the judges stand during
the club cup race. W. w. Force was in

not desire to Judge upon the merits of the

harvest, although many of them availed
themselves OF the opportunity offered by
the railroad company and travelled in pas
senger coaches.

exhibited his speed, training and staying
qualities. As he was touched with whip
and spur the Eoble animal responded in
stantly, and although he spurted mag.
nifcentlY, was unable to close the gap
between himself and the leaders.
Up the home stretch it was a race for
life. Each rider urged his horse as best
he could. Not a solitary spectator re-
manned seated and nearly everyone in
voluntarily emitted a regular ''yell' of
some sort. AS the horses ncared the
wire the race become more intensely in
teresting than ever. Trouble and Climax
were side by side with the latter scarcely
half a neck ahead when the race was
finished amidst d~eafening cheers. Bashaw
was third, Endebar fourth, Wyoming
fifth; and DeeDee sixth. Time, 2:l6.
Many shouted it was a dead heat, but the
judges soon settled the controversy as to
the winner. When the result of the race
became generally known there was a de-
cided confusion of tongues, Both favor
ties had been badly beaten. 1t is en-
phatically asserted by a number that
Wyoming is the most speedy animal of
the lot, while others insist that Biz
mingham allowed Endebar to remain in
the rear a few seconds too long. Wyo-
ming is said to be difficult to manage.
Captain Quinn is a splendid foreman,
but many iterate and reiterate that he
was not acquainted with the peculiarities
Of his mount. all are satisfied, however,
that the race was a fair contest and it GER
tainly was a magnificent one. Davis &
Choate win the handsome $500 cup for
the year. Mr.. Ware, who rode Climax,
did exceedingly well, as in fact did the re-
mainder of the gentleman riders. Trou-
Bile, who came in a very good second, was
ridden by G. A. Saportis, who handled
the sorrel gelding with a steady hand.
Trouble resembles Climax, with the ex-
ception that be is a tri1e smaller.
H THREE MINUTE TRoT.
Aside from the club cup event this con-
test was the most exciting race OF the
day. There we're five starters, Tom, g.
g., Ned Biddle, b. g., John B. L., b. g.,
Billy Haywood, b.. g., and Harry, b. s.
Billy Haywood was the favorite.
First heat-From the start the race was
between the f~avorite and Ned Biddle, a
green horse, said to have contested in
a race for the first time yesterday. At
the third quarter Haywood, who was in
the lead, broke badly and was beaten by
Biddle. Time. 1894. The remainder of
the group retired to their stables in dis
grace, having been easily distanced.
Second heat-It was nip and tuck be-
tween the pair until within twenty-five
yards of the wire, when Haywood broke
and Biddle won by a neck in the unex-
pected time OF 2:35.
Third heat-Biddle trotted without a
skip with Haywood's head at his sulky
wheel until the home stretch was reached,
when the green horse forged ahead
and passed under the wire fifteen feet in
the lead, winning the heat and race.
Time, 2:374.
